The match was anyone's after the first 3 sets with both teams having won 15 games each, however strong play from the young guns Natasha and Henry in the last 3 sets saw their team pull away by 38 games to 25. Henry won all of his sets adding 24 games to the winners' score and Natasha showed she can mix it with the best on the courts.
It was great to see most of the other players also there on the night who enjoyed a social hit and stayed for the celebrations and presentations afterwards.
